i can never change what was  
i just move forward to what is
...
After October
I'm so ready to start over.
I'm so glad we found each other
I'd be lying if I said
That our love was never true
I always knew
Every time I looked at you
I would need no proof
Cause' I saw the truth.
Just like the leaves, I knew that we would fall.
Oh
to leave all chains
on top
of the mountain

Oh
to leave a world
setting
— everything free

If I have yet to love myself,
Do I not love you wholly?
I'm sorry I dragged you down
and let you fall in love
I'm sorry I'd rather drown
than look into the sky above

I'm sorry I deceived you
and made you think I'm perfect
I'm trying to get through
and make this all worth it

I'm sorry that I'm wrong
in every way that isn't right
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough
I'm not able to win this fight
If I give you love
what will I get in return?
will it be acknowledged?
or will it be but spurned?
If I offer my love
will you be mine forever?
or will you laugh at me
and say to me   - not ever.
Am I just a fool in love?
head over heels and blind?
silly and sheepish, blushing
not knowing what's in my mind?
I stand on the steps of happiness
worried, lest I fall
falling at your feet
all curled up in a ball.
Columbus took a chance
and by God - he did all right
I cannot leave you now
without putting up a fight.
I smiled and said I love you
my voice began to crack
but your eyes lit up I swear
as you smiled at me right back!
I pushed you away so many times.
The words
you wanted to hear all along...
I want to say them now.
Would it be too unfair?
I feel I might have missed my chance.
But you are the only thing
that makes sense right now.
The only thing
that made sense from the beginning.
Only I wasn´t able to see.
Pattern blinded.
Sight unable to reach
beyond fears
and insecurities.
Perhaps if you stopped worshiping
the wise words of another,
you might, in fact, uncover
a wisdom within
yourself.
